Update time! 9 months post-op
Aug 22, 2010
I've been super busy lately, but though I would come through for a post-op entry. I have finally gotten my photography business off the ground! Let me tell you, losing all that weight has definitely helped! All the running and standing that I do now, I know that I couldn't do it if I weighed the same.So if you get a chance, visit my website www.MarisaTaylorPhotography.com and become a fan on facebook, www.facebook.com/marisataylorphotography, and drop me a line. I would love to hear from you.
So for a quick recap. At my heaviest, I was a size 24/26 at 353 pounds. I was put on the all liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery, and on my surger date 12/21/2010 weighed in at 343 lbs.
The surgery itself went fine. I didn't have any of the normal issues that most had. I was able to keep down liquids and small foods. The only bad thing was when I attempted to eat a steak, and I vomitted :(. Oh! I almost forgot, apparently I have developed an aversion to dairy :( Makes me sad because I love milk! But things are pretty normal now. I am able to eat about a small saucer of food at a time, so thats good. My calorie intake for the day is under 1000 calories.
Now on to the good part...the before and after pictures!
